A combo/control deck lead by Roon of the Hidden Realm. The deck's game plan is to assemble a combo win, using Roon's flicker ability to stave off threats as necessary and buy you time to dig for the cards you need.

This is my main commander deck and has been for some time. Roon is not nearly as powerful as top-tier cEDH combo decks with Hermit Druid or Doomsday, but this means he has not been "solved" yet and there are always more improvements to be made, and this is why I love playing him.


Your primary objective is to assemble your infinite combo, which involves making an arbitrarily large amount of mana and going bonkers with it.

Win conditions Show


The vast majority of the deck is dedicated to finding, casting, and protecting the combo.

Combo assembly Show


Roon of the Hidden Realm is not part of the combo, but he's an integral part of the deck nonetheless.

Interactive, competitive, and a blast to play, I would recommend Roon to anyone. Comments, criticism, and suggestions for additions/cuts are welcome, and feel free to upvote if you like the deck!

Cut – Island; Sword of Fire and Ice; Body Double; Silence

New – Elspeth, Sun’s Champion; Thalia, Guardian of Thraben; Rest in Peace; Gaddock Teeg

This was the last iteration of the deck I played before I graduated and moved on from my original playgroup. I trimmed down on "fun" cards and added more hate; I also wanted to give Elspeth a try, as she's a board wipe, tons of chump blockers, and an alternate win condition in one card. My new playgroup is substantially less competitive, and I will likely be scrapping the deck and starting over without the combo in order to conform to the meta.
